In some of my early YouTube videos (for classes I taught), I would live code. One complaint one of my students had was while they loved the videos, the key strokes were distracting.

I will add though that I do attempt to retype code I find on StackOverflow rather than rely on copy pasting. I'm a PhD student that can't extract a tar file or correctly set up an Apache server configuration because I work primari

No, I developed a platform that converts code formatted from TinyMCE into a PNG which is then an exercise for students. Students in turn retype out the program. The activity requires zero high level thinking, but presents a worked example o

Funny enough, this is my PhD research. Granted, I do agree that the examples should be more meaningful; however, offering students worked examples as typing examples to better train them on syntax errors is the general feel.

This is something that I emphasized in my CS1 courses (I haven't taught them in a few years). Homework was 50% divided into 10% for Typing Exercises (my research), 10% for Lecture Exercises (MCQ, TF, Fill in the Blanks), and 30% Progra

Plagarism Detectors for Code, like MOSS, are a major issue. Take a simple getter/setter method. MOSS will mark these as duplicates unless you explicitly go in an say "no, its okay for THIS to be the same". This adds a degree
